This Uchiha is too popular

The importance of the Book of Seals to Konoha is self-evident.

This document records all the forbidden techniques within Konoha, and it cannot be overemphasized how important it is.

Even if the Kage from another ninja village came, they probably wouldn't be able to take something like this from Konoha, let alone a mere Naruto Uzumaki.

Regardless of Naruto's future achievements, at least for now, he is just an ordinary child.

Any Jonin could easily defeat it; there's absolutely no suspense involved.

If he could really steal the Book of Seals on his own, it would probably be commonplace by now.

Yu Ming estimates that Hiruzen Sarutobi probably discovered all of this from the very beginning and was preparing to use Mizuki to teach Naruto a lesson.

Under these circumstances, even if Mizuki did obtain the Book of Seals, it would be impossible for him to leave Konoha.

Of course, the ice at this moment is just average.

He estimated that the road leading out of Konoha was already swarming with ANBU, just waiting for him to walk right into their trap.

Therefore, he had no intention of leaving, but instead memorized the techniques he wanted as quickly as possible.

Flying Thunder God Technique!

As a technique created by the Second Hokage, this ninjutsu is extremely difficult to master and is also recorded in the Book of Seals.

However, before this, apart from the Second Hokage who created this technique, the only person who truly mastered it was Minato Namikaze, who was the Fourth Hokage.

Now, he has memorized this technique.

He didn't pay attention to other techniques, but repeatedly studied the Flying Thunder God Technique to ensure there were no mistakes.

At this moment, Bing did not expect to master the technique immediately.

That's not realistic.

As a top-tier space-time ninjutsu, the Flying Thunder God Technique remains relevant even in the Boruto era, making it a truly exceptional technique.

Mastering such a technique is not easy.

At this moment, Youming simply wanted to remember it.

As long as you can memorize it, you will always have the opportunity to practice it gradually later.

Shortly after he had completely copied down the Flying Thunder God Manual, a figure wearing a divine robe approached.

He looked somewhat old, but his posture remained upright, giving him an air of dignified authority.

This is Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Unauthorized entry into Konoha, accompanied by this chakra reaction I've never sensed before..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi walked up to Hyo and silently gazed at him: "Who exactly are you?"

"I?"

Bing raised her head, not surprised by Hiruzen Sarutobi's arrival: "He's just a passerby."

"I never expected that the Hokage himself would take action this time. It is truly an honor."

"Now that you know who I am, you should understand that you have absolutely no chance of escaping."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke calmly, his words brimming with confidence: "Considering that you haven't harmed Naruto and the others, nor caused any damage to Konoha, surrender now and I might consider treating you leniently."

"You want me to surrender?"

Bing looked up and chuckled, "If you can do it, why not give it a try?"

"Perfect timing, I'm also very curious about the Hokage's strength."

"As a renowned ninja hero in the ninja world, known as the strongest Hokage, I'm truly curious about your current strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and several shuriken flew out.

The shuriken flew forward, but suddenly spun in mid-air, attacking Hiruzen Sarutobi from different angles.

"Such skillful shurikenjutsu..."

Standing still, this thought flashed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.

The next moment, he formed a hand seal.

Fire Release: Blazing Fire!

A powerful fire blast surged forward.

The temperature on the spot rose instantly, and terrifying flames swept into the air, directly engulfing the shuriken flying in front of them.

The flames rushed forward, but dissipated the moment they touched the ice.

"This is......."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up, somewhat surprised: "His taijutsu is so strong too..."

Ahead, ice held a kunai, within which powerful wind-style chakra gathered, and with a single strike, it directly severed the fire-style attack used by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

This approach is undoubtedly astonishing.

As the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi's ninjutsu was extraordinary; even a simple ordinary ninjutsu was enough to terrify a Jonin.

But the opponent didn't use any ninjutsu to defend themselves; they were able to do this with just a kunai.

His taijutsu skills alone are comparable to those of many Jonin.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised, but he quickly accepted it.

After all, this is a ninja who dared to plot against the Book of Seals; it's normal for him to have this level of skill.

After all, not everyone is like Shuimu, who, despite lacking the ability, still dares to covet things that don't belong to him.

"But since that's the case..."

He pondered for a moment, then used his spirit communication technique to summon the ape demon, transforming it into the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) which he held in his hand.

The next moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi rushed forward.

Ice showed no fear, and went straight forward to engage in close combat with him.

His physical skills are very strong.

After being separated from Yu Ming, he was not given many special bloodlines, but his ninjutsu and taijutsu were shared to a certain extent.

With Yu Ming's mastery of taijutsu, if he were to unleash his full power, there would be few in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who could surpass him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi happened to be one of those very few people.

Even though he is old and his strength is not what it used to be, the power in his every move is still great. Every time the golden cudgel falls, it will deal a heavy blow to Bing.

Gradually, his breathing became heavier, and his physical strength was being depleted more and more.

He knew that if things continued like this, he would probably be defeated very soon.

To turn the tide of the battle, some new variables are needed.

"Very good, that's how we corner him."

Compared to his exhaustion, Hiruzen Sarutobi still had energy to spare.

He is old now, but he is still the Hokage.

Perhaps compared to Orochimaru and others, his physical strength is now inferior, but he is not yet capable of fighting against ice.

Holding the golden cudgel, he took a step forward and directly suppressed the ice with a single blow.

However, at the crucial moment, an inexplicable change occurred. His body suddenly froze uncontrollably for a moment, as if pulled by some unknown force.

boom!

In the briefest of moments when his body paused, Bing's figure vanished from his original spot, instantly appearing on the other side.

"This is... a shadow?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood there, carefully savoring the feeling he had just experienced, and now he realized something was wrong: "You're from the Nara family?"
